Run a Physical Inspection. You can tell if a DPF has been removed through a physical inspection of the vehicle. This involves getting the vehicle in the air and removing the under trays to check if the DPF has been removed or gutted.
The DOC also protects the DPF. Hydrocarbon liquids or vapor can interfere with the DPF’s ability to trap and remove particulate matter, so manufacturers route the exhaust through the DOC first Admittedly, it's hard for an MoT test station to detect whether a DPF has been removed. Unscrupulous owners can easily remove the DPF assembly, and some garages even offer a DPF removal service.

In a way, the DPF light illuminating is actually a good thing, it shows that there are issues within the filter and could allow you to resolve Due to the new European emission standards if the car was fitted with a Dpf to lower emissions removing it would be in volation of the Eu laws and its tested for in the new MOT. If the car never had one fitted then its fine. Much like if a car was never fitted or made before the seat belt law was passed the car doesnt need to have them. Part of the DPF removal process is to remove some codes yes. but this particular code is not needed to be removed as the sensor can still be allowed to read after the DPF removal.
